Our galleries are quietest on weekdays and weekend mornings. At busy times, particularly on Saturdays, you may need to queue for our temporary exhibitions.

We’re undertaking some research with website visitors to learn more about how people find access-related information provided by museums. This survey shouldn't take longer than 10 minutes to complete. Thank you for your time!

Collection of medical, cookery and household recipes, in various hands. The medical receipts occupy the front of the volume (ff. 1a-10 passim), the cookery ones are entered from the back (ff. 58.-14v.). Medical authorities include Dr Soames (f. 1b), Dr Mead [presumably Richard Mead 1673-1754] (f. 6), Dr Moore (f. 7), and Mr Stanton of Shrewsbury (f. 9). A loose leaf records a recipe for a mouth-wash from Dr Foy, dentist [Nathaniel Foy, dentist of Bath].
